CNET host Bridget Carey demonstrates how to optimize the new Siri AI on iPhones for improved personal assistance. Key setup steps include configuring the side button for Siri activation, ensuring the iPhone is easily unlockable via Face ID or Apple Watch proximity, and directing all calendar events and emails into their respective Apple apps. Carey shows how Siri can then efficiently retrieve information from calendars, messages, and emails, reducing the need to manually open apps and potentially lessening screen time.
